Best coat hangers for organising your wardrobe

Wave goodbye to a mismatched wardrobe with this extensive set of non-bulky, slimline hangers.

Available to purchase in large pack sizes, they help to create fully coordinated closets and compact clothes storage in even the smallest of wardrobes. Finished with a velvet non-slip coating, that is soft to the touch, each hanger comes with subtle grooves to help prevent items slipping or falling. They also offer a high load capacity and we thought the 360 degree swivel hook was a useful feature, ideal for quick access when choosing your outfit of the day.

If you are looking to make the most of your wardrobe space and want to create a look that is both elegant and classic, you really can’t go wrong with these versatile, space-saving hangers that can easily handle a variety of different garments.

Is there anything more adorable than clean baby clothes lined up in a wardrobe? Suitable for infants clothing from ‘small baby’ through to adult size, these hangers make a smart and practical addition to any nursery.

If you prefer to hang your trousers and skirts rather than have them hidden away in drawers, then coat hangers with clips are an absolute must.

These attractive clip coat hangers are made from smooth lacquered wood and come with clips, plated with chrome and finished with rubber grips to help protect your clothes whilst holding them securely in place.

We’ve all been there. You open the wardrobe at your holiday accommodation to see one solitary hanger (and one that’s seen better days at that).

Folding away to a discreet size, the Hotupark Collapsible Coat Hangers can easily be popped into your suitcase without taking up valuable clothing space.

We’d recommend something else for everyday use at home, but for a lightweight hanger to use on-the-go, they’re the ideal choice. They’d also be great for use in cars too.

These non slip velvet hangers are slimline and stack close together for the most effective use of your space. They come with notches on shoulders to prevent slipping clothes ending up on the wardrobe floor and include a small centre bar for ties, scarves or even folded trousers. With a 360 degree swivel hook, they also ensure easy access for all your clothing essentials.

With 50 coats hangers for just over £25, it's a great pack for kitting out your entire wardrobe, but some reviewers found them to be slightly flimsy, so you may want something stronger for heavier items.

Fancy adding a touch of luxury or a wardrobe or want to have your clothes hung out on display? These Amber Home hangers allow you to add an extra splash of colour and style to your bedroom.

Made from super soft padded fabric with a stunning floral design and bow, be under no illusion; these hangers may be really pretty, but they are also super strong. With a built-in thick wooden interior, these hangers are sturdy enough to hold up to 5kg in weight.

We'd suggest being selective about what you hang on them though –the fabric pattern may not be best for clothes likely to slip.

If you are looking for a more sustainable and eco-friendly way to hang your clothes, then these wooden coat hangers have been a big hit on the Mumsnet forums.

With absolutely no plastic in sight, these solid wood hangers are elegant, practical and made to a high quality. Strong enough to hold heavier clothes without warping, the Bumerang hangers also come with small groves to prevent hanging straps from sliding off.

If you really don’t want to slim down the contents of your wardrobe or need to maximise capacity in a limited space, these space saving hangers are a really clever choice.

Available in a variety of pack sizes (from four to 20) each hanger has six slots and enables you to hang multiple garments on a single magic hanger rack - up to 12 garments horizontally or six garments vertically. You can easily switch between horizontal and vertical as required to adapt to changes in your wardrobe.

We loved that these innovative hangers allow you to keep clothes organised and wrinkle-free even in the smallest of wardrobe spaces.

Basic but hardworking, these Hangerworld Plastic Clothes Hangers are available in a variety of pack sizes from 20 to 120 pieces, meaning there’s options for households of any size.

Whilst they are unlikely to win any style awards, they are functional, strong and robust and a practical option for keeping your wardrobe neat.

They’re also very good value, but bear in mind that they don’t have a middle bar for trouser storage, and as they are plastic, they aren’t the most eco-friendly option.
